Wow!! I’m extremely flattered! I had a great experience working on it with Scholastic. I tend to do my best work when it’s something I’m truly excited about. (Not surprisingly :) ) Thank you so very much. I hope I get the chance to work on future Matas novels!

Thank you so much Carol that makes my day! I loved the book, such a gripping and poignant story.

You’ve drank the Kool-Aid. Good luck.

Obviously you didn’t even look at them. Ignorance is bliss I suppose.

There’s video of him literally saying all these things. Look it up. Get your head out of the sand.

If you think the guy who was besties with Epstein, was found guilty of rape, walked in on miss teen dressing rooms while they were changing, once saw a child on an escalator and said, “I’m going to be dating her in 10 years” and on and on and on, is your guy. Then there’s no convincing you otherwise

The war he claimed he’d end in 24 hours, that one? Please. He’s too busy trying to distract from the Epstein files and cheating at golf to do much of anything.

Thank you. And I can totally understand that. I’m Canadian and seeing their flag certainly doesn’t represent what once was a well respected country. I painted that portrait in 2008, things have drastically changed for the worse since then.

From Wikipedia: “In her book The Trumps, biographer Gwenda Blair mentions a Hanns Drumpf - whose descendants changed their name from Drumpf to Trump during the Thirty Years’ War.”

“The fact-checking website Snopes presents sources showing the family name was once "Drumpf"

Yep! But if he truly had any decency he’d step down.

A quick google search will tell you he changed it because of his strained relationship with his father. But I could also ask why did Donald’s ancestors change their name from Drumpf? C’mon man.
